USA: Electric vehicles rally rolls through Napa County

On Saturday, Gint and Geni Federas quietly arrived in Yountville in their 2013 Toyota RAV4, an electric SUV with zero emission.

The Federases were among those who signed up for a 50-mile Cool the Earth EV Rally that started in Marin County on Saturday morning and ended at the Bardessono in Yountville in the afternoon. The 35 cars, including Teslas, Toyotas and Nissans, stopped at two shopping centers in San Rafael and Greenbrae, as well as Cornerstone Gardens on Arnold Drive in Sonoma before heading for Napa County.

“It was fun,” said Gint Federas of Lafayette, as the couple relaxed at Bardessono. “It’s like a ‘staycation.’”

Cool the Earth, a Marin County nonprofit, organized the rally in an effort to promote electrical vehicle driving as a viable option to protect the environment.\
